Learners

34) "Buddy System" Learners buddy with another learner who is either slightly or more experienced. The two work together regularly on a project that will go on display at a specific time (i.e. exhibition, science fair.) Buddies also assist each other to complete homework or to remind each to finish and turn in homework. In the end, neither buddy can take the summative assessment until the other buddy says the first buddy is ready. This technique improves learning because the buddies encourage…

Malcolm Knowles is credited with being the father of andragogy and outlined six assumptions associated with adult learning. These assumptions are 1) Learners need to know 2) Self-directed learning 3) Prior experience of the learner 4) Readiness to learn 5) Orientation to learning and 6) Motivation to learn. My personal experiences with each of these assumptions, while working with adults through professional learning experiences, have provided me with a certain degree of insight to help confirm…

behaviorism. The instructor sets up the lesson and the learners are forced to give reflexive responses based on “Charles law”. Charles Law measures the relationship between the temperature and the volume of a gas. Based on the formula outline by Jacques Charles, there is a direct relationship between the temperature and the volume. This means that as one increases so does the other. The operant behavior is also evident in the general demeanor of the learners and how they respond to the…

Equality Equity is a very important aspect that should be instil in the classroom although in order for it to be implemented, it is important to identity and expand on what is Equality. Equity does not entail that every learner must be treated the same but focuses on more in treating everyone with equal concern and respect. Therefore it is important as to when I am implementing equality in my classroom that I look at each child as individuals, taking into consideration who they are as an…

The second category test if you are a sensing or intuitive learner, the third category test if you are a visual or a verbal learner. The last category test if you are a sequential or a global leaner. Below is the result and analysis of my learning styles ACTIVE AND REFLECTIVE LEARNERS This test category looks at you active and reflective learning styles. Active learners like to be involved in what they are learning; they…

genre analysis (GA) in teaching and learning with linguistic awareness. Learners are guided to recognize language features and rhetorical structures in research articles differentiating in disciplinary community.…

factors are never fixed and hence they keep on changing from class to class, therefore the teacher should have capability to analyze and understand the specific needs of a learner or a class. Broadly, the contextual factors are viewed under two categories. The first category is the community, which refers to where the learner lives. It is important to note that, the environment…

important benefit is that of individualization and learner autonomy. With a CALL program, learners can work at their own pace and control their own learning process and progress. The learner can spend more time on those topics that are causing difficulty. Information can be reviewed and tasks can be repeated until the learner is happy to move on to a new topic. CALL can adapt to the learner’s self-paced…

philosophy refers to as it influences the manner in which learners are taught. Education philosophy embodies solutions to the questions behind the purpose of teaching, what needs to be taught and through which methods as well as the role of the teacher in the classroom. It distinctly outlines the beliefs of a teacher’s standards of management with reference to his or her teaching related positions, for instance, how the ability and the knowledge of learners are improved adequately as well as…

The three types of learning styles are Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic. Visual Learners involve seeing and reading. A visual learner is good at spelling, best remember things when they are written down or been displayed, computer skills are excellent, summarising and organising contents onto graphs, charts and spreadsheets. A visual learner best working environments would be arts or office job, where they are able to take down notes and learn from being things and with the use of very good…
